If You're Going to a St. Patrick's Day Parade

Wear your heaviest green parka and shamrock accessories. More often than not, the weather will be chilly for your city's annual parade, so bundling up is a must! We recommend an army green puffer (like the warm and cozy coat that's gone viral this winter!) and layering up on thematic accessories.

Buy It!

Coat: Orolay women's thickened down jacket, $139.99; amazon.com

Hat: Dalix four leaf clover baseball cap, $12.99; amazon.com

Scarf: Beautiful Nomad pashmina shawl wrap scarf, $21.99; amazon.com

So now's the time to add a cute (and re-wearable!) top to your wardrobe or pick up a reasonably-priced on-theme tee if you're really feeling festive.
